What effect did the Holocaust have on Canada?
The US never really goes into detail about Canada in most text books. But Canada played its part in WWII. and I believe that Canada took in some immigrants. ____ Canada took in very few refugees and this is still a source of embarrassment.
Who was a famous German who helped save Jewish refugees?
Here are three people. One is famous, the other two are not. * Oskar Schindler * Hermann Maas * Heinrich Grüber Incidentally, Grüber was one of the few Germans who gave evidence against Eichmann at the latter's trial.
Where did german jews try to migrate to find safety from nazi territory?
Their position, especially after late 1938, was desperate, and they tried to go to any country that would accept them (About 25,000 went to Shanghai, for example). Moreover, they had to go to *something* ... No country wanted to accept people who were likely to be a burden. In other words, they needed jobs or a firm guarantee from friends or family members or a charity that they would be supported. Having said that, the U.S. took about 250,000 refugees from Nazi Germany, Britain about 70,OOO and Australia took about 50,000. Canada only accepted 4,000. Some countries took in very few indeed. For example, Turkey took in about 1,000. Please note that all these figures include non-Jewish political refugees.
Why were so few refugees able to flee Europe prior to the outbreak of world war ii?
The immigration policies of host countries hindered refugees from leaving Europe before World War II. These policies included immigration quotas and special requirements the must be met before entry.
Why were Jewish people globally recognized as victims of the Nazi Holocaust?
Because the Jewish people were the ones targeted, persecuted and murdered by the Nazis during the holocaust. Hitler declared his disdain for the jews, therefore his army, under his orders, slaughtered them by the millions. There were only a few of Hitler's soldiers that secretly despised what Hitler was doing and what he stood for, but the majority of Hitler's army took a perverted pleasure in the torture, mutilation, and murder of millions of innocent people just because they were Jewish. No other people (that I know of) were targeted by the Nazis like the Jewish people were. It made no difference to them if they killed infants and children, women or men.
